Fletcher Sharpe Shines Amid Newcastle Knights' Playoff Aspirations

Fletcher Sharpe's Remarkable Journey

This time last year, Fletcher Sharpe was on a construction site, digging holes as an apprentice plumber. Now, he plays for the Knights, showcasing his incredible rise in the sport. The 20-year-old winger is ready to tackle the Cowboys in Townsville, marking a pivotal moment in his career.

Making an Impact in Finals Football

In just his 12th NRL game, Sharpe has made a name for himself, scoring 10 tries—starting with a strong debut against the Storm. Having trained hard this off-season, he was focused on a solid performance, yet found himself in finals action much sooner than expected. His journey has been one of tremendous growth and opportunity.

• Sharpe aims to keep a level head amid the pressure.
• His mentor, Dane Gagai, plays a crucial role in his development.
• Newcastle Knights finished eighth and secured a spot in the playoffs.

Gagai's Guidance

The experience of Dane Gagai has been invaluable for Sharpe. With 289 games under his belt, Gagai shares insights that not only enhance Sharpe's game but bolster his confidence. Newcastle's aspiration for a premiership grows stronger as they face tough competitors in the finals.

Aiming for Championship Glory

Newcastle Knights are currently viewed as underdogs, yet their recent performances instill confidence ahead of their clash against the Cowboys. With the heart of the squad revamped, thanks to young talents like Sharpe, their playoff journey might just be the making of something special.
